Specifications

v 1: Point-to-point (preferred setting)
v 2: Loop preferred (If you cannot use arbitrated loop, then default to
point-to-point)
v 3: Point-to point, otherwise loop (If you cannot use point-to-point, default to
arbitrated loop).
Notes:
a. If you connect the ESS directly to the host system, the option you select
must match the port connections on the ESS.
b. If you connect through a switch, the options do not need to match the port
connections because the ESS is point-to-point.
c. The appropriate host bus adapter on the server must also support
point-to-point connection on a direct connection.
d. If you use switches from different manufacturers, the switches will not
function properly in a direct point-to-point connection. This is not true if you
connect through a switch because the ESS is point-to-point.
